Works
Mark's works are traditionally the following:
- (1) of the spiritual law,
- (2) Concerning those who think to be justified through works (both ascetic treatises for monks);
- (3) of penitence;
- (4) of baptism;
- (5) To Nicholas on refraining from anger and lust;
- (6) Disputation against a scholar (against appearing to civil courts and on celibacy);
- (7) Consultation of the mind with its own soul (reproaches that he makes Adam, Satan, and other men responsible for his sins instead of himself);
- (8) on fasting and humility;
- (9) on Melchisedek (against people who think that Melchisedek was an apparition of the Word of God).
All the above works are named and described in the "Myrobiblion" and are published in Gallandi's collection. To them must be added:
- (10) Against the Nestorians (a treatise against that heresy arranged without order).
Of these (8) is now considered spurious.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)
“I cannot spare water or wine, Tobacco-leaf, or poppy, or rose;
From the earth-poles to the line, All between that works or grows,
Every thing is kin of mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
